“When bad is good.”

america’s underworld

The United States tagline is the land of the free and the home of the brave. We push this tagline, but what happens when the other side of America pops its ugly head up. Or better yet, what happens when an ugliness in America is actually of profit to the economy. And what do I mean by profit to the system. I’m talking the prison system and the criminal underworld. Just as the negatives that come with the crime there are the positives as well.

The narcotics business has been a longstanding issue in the United States going back to the 1970’s. But as with the carnage it brings, there is the monetary gain that a city takes in from the business. The first aspect is the money being spent in an environment by criminals. When the city of Miami was going through its problems back in the 1980’s, the money being generated was staggering. Billions of dollars were made through the narcotics business.

But you also have the funding from the government to battle the drug problem. So, now you have police officers, prosecutors, and judges who are needed for cases. Which an insurmountable amount of jobs. You even have the money taken from drug bust used to upgrade police equipment. Even the drugs are stored and used to lower others for potential drug deals.

People who are engaging in gun running or using guns stolen are the reason for two things. The intervention of the ATF, as well as citizens part taking in gun ownership is now a reason to invest in the firearms market. Especially with the rising fear of terrorism, the gun sales also increase.

A major aspect of profiting off of the crime would be the prison systems. This country is going to make money off of you one way or another. And if you are going to be a stand-up citizen then there is a orison for you to go and live. And you’re not going to be just sitting around reading magazines and watching television. You’re going to be working the jobs that have left he job market and made its way to America’s penitentiaries. And the next you talk to a telemarketer, don’t be shocked if they are actually a corrections inmate.

Prison has become this assembly line of people coming in and going out. Cost the country money to try cases, so now it becomes a cookie cutter get them and get them out. Give this guy 10 years, this guy 3 years, this guy 6 months, and this guy 50 years. We have our chart with time associated with crimes, put the time to the charge and see you later.
